Arterial Leadercath

arterial leadercath®

Safe, simple, successful

The solution: Seldinger technique

arterial leadercath is placed using the tried and tested Seldinger technique. Once flash back has been confirmed the Seldinger wire stabilises the artery to offer successful catheter placement even when vessel conditions are less than ideal.

The classic use of naturally echogenic needle, a safety guidewire with a straight, flexible tip and a semi transparent, x-ray contrast-catheter made of pressure-resistant polyethylene reduces the risk of incorrect placement

The precision grind of the insertion needle enables smooth accurate, percutaneous arterial

puncture . The flexible tip of the guidewire adapts precisely to the structure of the vessel and aids safe advancement of the catheter on insertion. The tapered tip of the catheter allows a smooth transition from the catheter tip to the guidewire during catheter placement.

The combination of catheter material, catheter diameter and catheter length delivers consistent pressure signal transmission even for extended dwell times .

This catheter is suitable for a variety of arterial and venous applications in both adults and children depending upon the length and the size of the catheter.

arterial leadercath is indicated for:

• Arterial catherization

• Deep vein catherization

• Peripheral venous catherization (midline)

Catheter tip

Smooth catheter placement, thanks to homogeneous transition between catheter tip and guidewire

Catheter material Pressure-resistant polyethylene catheter material avoids damping of the pressure waveform

Naturally echogenic needle

Easy and uniform vein insertion with precision triangular edge

insertion of Arterial Leadercath catheters to ensure higher first-attempt success rate and lesser complications.
